[orchid kraken]

Not convincing actually, we just saying that they make money, THEY WERENT CONVINCING ME

[rancid dome]

Bro, at least somewhere else

[valid elbow]

Either u make money or don’t idk

[valid silo]

I mean

[valid elbow]

I’m not really paying attention

[orchid kraken]

Just hop on SL

[upper raven]

🥀

[valid silo]

It's alot of money at the price of your dignity

[rancid dome]

Hell nah wtf

[valid silo]

And self respect

And self worth

None of which I have!

[languid radish]

It would appear i have no more bullets

[orchid kraken]

Bro is on SL server yet hates SL

[karmic anchor]

I just aint autistic for metroidvanias

[upper raven]

[valid silo]

I have a meme specifically for this

[rancid dome]

Woahhhh

[velvet mason]

[upper raven]

@rancid dome which car u set PB on nords

[rancid dome]

Me? Hate SL? Never man

RB19

[upper raven]

Goddamn it

[orchid kraken]

SL lover till the end, fuck the haters

[upper raven]

Lemme try the formula SF15

[rancid dome]

I can go about a few seconds faster I reckon

I'm really not that good at sim driving lol

[upper raven]

There isnt driffent stuff between SF15-T and RB19?

Meme from 2010

[rancid dome]

Uhhh yeah, very

Completely different regs lol

[orchid kraken]

They should've added the line💔

[upper raven]

How so

[valid elbow]

The development of a fictional outlook of autism must be studied..

[upper raven]

Imam download RB19 and see what time i will set without any track knowledge

[rancid dome]

These are not very similar cars

[upper raven]

Im curios

[valid elbow]

But they look similar

[rancid dome]

The car that finished 2nd in 2015 constructors championship against a car that literally decimated 2023

The left should have a bit higher top speed than the right, but the right will have a whole lot more downforce

[upper raven]

Equals more grip

But the SF15-T has good grip though

[rancid dome]

Yes

[valid elbow]

I think I understand

[rancid dome]

You actually dont need that much grip in the nords

At least that's what I felt driving the rb19

[upper raven]

Its an F1 car after all

[rancid dome]

Yea lol

Fair

What sim will you be playing on btw?

[upper raven]

Sim?

Game or setup?

[rancid dome]

Game

[upper raven]

Assetto corsa 2014

[rancid dome]

I'm guessing with Kunos' nords, yeah?

[upper raven]

Yes

[rancid dome]

Aight cool

Was gonna say if it's Snoopy's then 💀

[upper raven]

Huh

[rancid dome]

Much easier to beat

[upper raven]

Imma try rn

[rancid dome]

Different timing lines, everywhere is a DRS zone, you have SO MUCH grip compared to Kunos

[upper raven]

Tf why rb19 has such an goofy idle sound

Uh

C5 is softest tyre right?

[rancid dome]

I mean, I can explain if you want but that'd make me look like so big of a nerd lol

[rancid dome]

Ya, C5 softs

I wonder which rb19 mod you installed

[upper raven]

Holy shit

The sound is so goody

[rancid dome]

Cuz there was this other one I tried and it was very crappy lol

[valid elbow]

Cars r neat like racing and such I just don’t have the brain capacity to understand fully lol

[fickle ibex]

hi

[rancid dome]

Hiya

[rancid dome]

[karmic anchor]

yes, it does

makes me think its all they ever talk/think about

which is, uh, annoying

[valid silo]

True

[rancid dome]

Just the steering wheel is enough

[valid silo]

[rancid dome]

Oh no that's actually the good one I'm very certain

[karmic anchor]

then they're really cool

[upper raven]

nah no way its good

the sound is crap asf

[rancid dome]

What's wrong lol

[upper raven]

and accelartes CRAZY

[rancid dome]

Well yeah, it's an F1

[amber lintel]

SL has been a major part of my development funnily enouh

[rancid dome]

0-200 in 5-6 seconds

[karmic anchor]

keep it that way

loyalty to the brand

[rancid dome]

I will kinda agree though, Honda engines dont sound that great

But what can you say when regulations made engines sound like vacuum cleaners

[amber lintel]

I started playing this game when I was like 13 or 14

[rancid dome]

Lol, same

[karmic anchor]

i started in like 2018 i think so that'd be when i was... uh

16?

maybe?

and now i get to work on it, so that's really cool

[valid silo]

My destiny...

It calls...

[rancid dome]

Wait no... I was definitely not 13 in 2018

[valid silo]

I was watching yt vids (and played like 15 mins of parabellum) when I was like 10 lmao

I came back in 13.1 which was like

Me being 14-15 ish

[rancid dome]

Huh, it does sound funny on your end

But same steering wheel so 100% same mod

Maybe you have a mod that affects sound? Looks like you got a lotta stuff in there

[upper raven]

holy

shit

i crashed so much because of lack of track knowledge

5.13 anyways

with crashes

[eager swallow]

is scp sl haram to play?

[upper raven]

what

[amber lintel]

I don't foresee myself being a Northwood staff, but I did help Terran with some wiki stuff, which was cool to see.

[rancid dome]

5.13 is crazy

Gonna be beating me soon

[amber lintel]

Granted, he literally said "I'm going to go take my meds" and then just forgot about me, so that suggests I might just be a figment of his imaginationm

[upper raven]

this mod is broken asf

[rancid dome]

Better get iRacing atp

[upper raven]

its so bumpy

im not paying monthly for a game

[rancid dome]

It's definitely not made for F1 and definitely not a grade 1

[upper raven]

Or its track being bunpy

Or its noth

Both

[rancid dome]

Well, both

What I implied above basically means both

[upper raven]

The fall begins

Spotify still haven't returned my 2 bucks from my bought 3 months trial for free

[dawn gorge]

I don’t think so

[upper raven]

There arent any pork so

Also sl has some violence

[upper raven]

[tawny vapor]

[upper raven]

[upper raven]

Excuse me

Its literally every game

[icy briar]

Indeed there’s nothing to recover from after that

[upper raven]

Big awaited game > launches > big player count in same day > then the player count drops after a day

[orchid kraken]

Probably already finished it

Singleplayer games have no purpose after finishing the game only as full achievement run

[icy briar]

This guy is making a whole schematic

[upper raven]

Literally

[icy briar]

Probably there are already world records for beating the game

[orchid kraken]

I replayed black mesa like 7 times only cuz of its OST's

[upper raven]

To make SCP SL realistic they need to add realistic bullet wounds damage, independent magazines and manual loading bullets into magazines, guns getting jammed, anti flash goggles, sliding, lean left and right option, lay, crouch, camouflage, doors update,

[worldly orchid]

can they also add grocery list and shopping

maybe a job

Hello gamers

I have reached an annoying part of silksong

So I am done for now

[strange leaf]

meanwhile, now that I’m on my 4th attempt at it, hollow knight (the non silksong one) finally clicked for me

what a fucking game, dude.

[amber lintel]

was considering acquiring hollow knight original

[strange leaf]

nerrel is a dumbass lmao

[amber lintel]

one of my friends' friends was playing it

[torn wyvern]

2 types of SL server members

[somber raptor]

my fears are eating me from the inside

[karmic anchor]

If you want

Im not a huge metroidvania person

[amber lintel]

what kind of game is it though? like, big action metroid?

[karmic anchor]

Its an action platformer

[strange leaf]

it’s hard but it’s not balls to the wall action packed like, say, metroid dread

[amber lintel]

so not much basking in the world then aye?

[karmic anchor]

Its a baskable world certainly

The art is very good

Its honestly the main draw

[strange leaf]

the atmosphere is top notch

city of tears, all I’ll say

(it’s what made it click for me)

[amber lintel]

speaking of, I really liked slay the princess. if you know where to look, it's free...

[rough coral]

[karmic anchor]

I think uh

[amber lintel]

do you know if it's on GOG? easier to acquire if it is

[karmic anchor]

Probably not

I think its only steam and switch rn

[strange leaf]

isn’t it like dirt cheap

[amber lintel]

well that'll be annoying. ah well.

[strange leaf]

it’s like 20 bucks here iirc

[karmic anchor]

Hollow knight regular has good regional pricing

[strange leaf]

silksong being like 60

[amber lintel]

high seas...

[karmic anchor]

Silksong is 20 usd regular is like 10 usd I think

[strange leaf]

there are the dlcs tbf, if you go for that it’d up the price

[karmic anchor]

I think they were free

[strange leaf]

are they? I didn’t check

if they are I’m spreading misinfo for fun

[karmic anchor]

Idk

I have them but never paid for them

[strange leaf]

oh they are

[amber lintel]

Everything's free if you know where to look.

[karmic anchor]

Don't pirate indie games

[amber lintel]

Game is game.

[thin leaf]

^

[karmic anchor]

:/

[thin leaf]

If it's there then people will choose to pirate it

[amber lintel]

if I like a game I'll buy it for steam achievements and such

[torn wyvern]

Pirate indie games but try to support them if you can afford it

[karmic anchor]

Its not great to do that unless you have some other way to pay it back

[strange leaf]

oh and it’s 40 here btw, I saw

but I see it on sale all the time

[karmic anchor]

Imo, if you pirate an indie game you are forbidden from openly talking shit about it unless it is a very bad cash grab

[thin leaf]

If people want to pirate it then it isn't up to you on the decision

[torn wyvern]

Thats fair ngl

[amber lintel]

pirating a game imo mainly makes you ineligible to make value-per-dollar decisions

wolfenstein 2 was a meh game, but if I paid $60 for it I'd be hopping mad

[karmic anchor]

Talking shit about an indie game after you pirated it is like stealing someone's lunch then telling them they should bring coke instead of sprite next time

Salt in the wound

Especially if its a smaller game

If someone pirated a game I made then openly talked shit about it to dissuade other people from playing it, I would be very angry as a dev.

[thin leaf]

I really only crack older games lmao

[amber lintel]

if you make a replayable game pirating it is less of a consideration, at least in my eyes

[karmic anchor]

Every game is replayable

[unreal shadow]

eh some games are so bad you dont wanna play em again

[karmic anchor]

If you pirate indie games even though you can comfortably afford them, theres really no excuse

Like at all

If you cant, thats okay

[karmic anchor]

Thats different

[thin leaf]

If people can't afford it then that's a them problem

[karmic anchor]

What?

[unreal shadow]

its like going into a store with money but still stealing

you have money for the item yet you choose to still steal it

[karmic anchor]

Yes

More accurately, its like going up to someone and going "ooh I really want this and can afford it........... give it to me for free"

[amber lintel]

how is this different from pirating a triple A though

[karmic anchor]

These are things people very often pour years of their lives into creating. If you want to play it, it is honestly bare minimum to compensate them in some way for the time and effort it took to bring you whatever enjoyment you get from it.

[unreal shadow]

triple aaa is a lot diffrent then indie

triple aaa no soul or passion for what they make

indie does they actually make quailty games and pour time and effort into it

[karmic anchor]

Indie games are cheap, often times made by people who directly depend on the money from game sales to support themselves financially and can actually be tangibly hurt by you pirating their game.

[unreal shadow]

triple aaa compaines hire teams's of devs and abuse them to push the game out before its ready

there morally bankrupt corporate husk's

[karmic anchor]

AAA studios very often have little respect for you as their player, have millions of dollars in funding that they'll probably get anyway regardless of whether you buy the game or not, and you choosing to pirate it has no direct impact on any of the people who made the game.

[spare prawn]

Triple aaa? That's a lot of a's

[karmic anchor]

Yeah

[spare prawn]

It's like 9 A's or smt
Simply too much

[amber lintel]

okay quick tangent but them calling skull and bones quad A is really funny

[karmic anchor]

Just you wait. People are talking about quad a games...

[amber lintel]

the more As in a battery, the smaller

[unreal shadow]

not to mention they also heavily abuse there devs

so they dont really deserve the money

[karmic anchor]

The more As you have the worse the game gets!

[spare prawn]

Quintuple A game with a billion dollar budget

[karmic anchor]

GTA6?

[unreal shadow]

gta 6 i think is going to be a massive disappointment

[karmic anchor]

Yeah

Well

Maybe not, but im not buying it at launch

[amber lintel]

like AAAAAAA because screaming

[thin leaf]

Dunno why anyone is excited for GTA 6 GTA 5 was so ass

[karmic anchor]

I wonder if theyre aware that the majority of players cant afford next gen consoles still

[unreal shadow]

i was thinking of it but the whole frame locked to 30 fps and rockstar wanting government' id's for gta 6 online make me reconsider

[thin leaf]

Current*

[karmic anchor]

And that theyre not going to get players until like 2027 when they release on PC

If even then

[unreal shadow]

why buy a console at this point when they cost as much as a pc

[karmic anchor]

Frankly I dont understand the hype at all

Exactly

[unreal shadow]

you know you gotta pay extra for a disk slot on the ps5

like fuck off

[thin leaf]

Cause console players are brainless

[karmic anchor]

I am aware

Anyway

[unreal shadow]

the only console im going to buy is the wii

because i wanna play wii sports again

[karmic anchor]

When I finish my game, if you 100% can't afford it, DM me and I'll figure something out so you dont gotta pirate it.

[amber lintel]

Didn't BF6 reveal that like, half their players are playing on last gen hardware?

[karmic anchor]

Idk

[unreal shadow]

most people dont upgrade to new gen right away im playing on last gen

a new gen amd gpu cost over 1000 dollars

god forbid you go the nivida route

the 5000 series is so over priced

[karmic anchor]

I think having a policy of like "I will help you play my game" is a very healthy one to have as a dev

So I dont want to price anyone out

[thin leaf]

Bf6 is pc,ps5 and series consoles only

[sleek estuary]

true, i swear they have a mental delay of 5 seconds

[thin leaf]

Fr

[amber lintel]

for all the shit piratesoftware got, I think he did price his (unfinished) "game" at lower for different regions

[karmic anchor]

He did, but thats not unique

Hollow knight did that too

[amber lintel]

Like, last gen PC stuff. Older GPUs, etc. I think the steam breakdown has only like 12% of people on the latest hardware.

[thin leaf]

You literally don't need demanding hardware to run it

It's hardware that can't use secure boot who can't access it

[amber lintel]

Ah

[sleek estuary]

im happy they actually optimized their game. my hardware is pretty bad and the game ran amazingly

[thin leaf]

Any kind of CPU that is within 10 years uses secure boot it's a problem on their end

[thin leaf]

Bro it runs super well on my GPU and that is 8 years old xd

[karmic anchor]

Somehow the bar is so low an ant could jump over it

Optimizing your game used to be non optional...

[rough coral]

[unreal shadow]

but then...ai

[rough coral]

[unreal shadow]

now they just let ai do all the optimizing

[thin leaf]

Ai for what?

[unreal shadow]

optimizing

[karmic anchor]

No they dont

Thats way too much effort

[thin leaf]

Ai is a choice for upscaling

It isn't necessary

[karmic anchor]

They just let the players do it with mods

And then ban them afterwards cuz they modded the game

(Classic trick)

[thin leaf]

There's a difference between mods and scripts🤣

[unreal shadow]

instead of having the devs spend time working on optimizing the game they have ai do it

[thin leaf]

lol nah i use native mostly

[karmic anchor]

Not to the anticheat

Also to the bitter devheads who are angry that the butthead players are doing their jobs for them

[unreal shadow]

why cant they be like valve and hire them

[karmic anchor]

Fuck you for even suggesting such a thing

Those heathens must be KILLED

[unreal shadow]

"how dare they do our job better then us"

[amber lintel]

what if we put an anticheat in a singleplayer game

[unreal shadow]

what if we put a battle pass and loot boxes into a singleplayer game

oh wait we already have

[karmic anchor]

How dare they not consume slop

[somber raptor]

If you asked me two weeks ago which song fit my current situation best i would have said Perfect by Ed Sheeran
Now it's probably more like Waiting For Love by Avicii

[karmic anchor]

Ooh speaking of ed sheeran, what if instead of paying a composer to make a really nice track for our credits, we instead license mainstream pop music and use that instead?

[unreal shadow]

why does cod and fortnite look more like ads

then games

i mean cod and fortnite are already starting to be the same game

[karmic anchor]

Because they are

[unreal shadow]

this looks like fortnite

[karmic anchor]

Same with roblox

[unreal shadow]

roblox is a casino for children

[amber lintel]

roblox has more p3d0s

[unreal shadow]

there are so many gambling games

[unreal shadow]

roblox would rather loose 12 billion in value then ban the pedos

[karmic anchor]

Yup

[solar glacier]

I remember a few years back being consumed by greed on adopt me

Genuinely stressing trying to trade and scam for a fly/ride frost dragon

Watching as others flex their rare pets

[unreal shadow]

i never was into spending absurd amounts of time to get a fake pet on a roblox game

it never made sense to me

[solar glacier]

That games downfall to a more humble playerbase is a blessing for humanity

[karmic anchor]

In late stage capitalism, it is actually optimal to continue supporting roblox financially than to take a stand against them for protecting pedos

Morality is not profitable to these people

[unreal shadow]

i disagree

[amber lintel]

late stage late stage wee woo

[unreal shadow]

valve has proven that it can be very profitable

gabe is a billionare

[karmic anchor]

Valve isnt roblox though

[amber lintel]

valve is a private company

[solar glacier]

Gabe has nightmares about half life 3

[unreal shadow]

he made a edit

it first said morality is not profitable

thats why i said what i did

[karmic anchor]

Yes I realized I meant it from the perspective of the people participating in the whole charade, not in terms of reality

[amber lintel]

switching to right hand made me realize how ass-backwards my viewmodel is

[unreal shadow]

well of course there making millions of dollars every month just from sitting on there ass and doing nothing and it will never be enough for them

i fucking hate human greed

they would rather see thousands of kids suffer truma then see a hit on there stocks

[karmic anchor]

The people in charge of and investing in roblox are the same sorts of people who would go like "guys guys! We should make a dating site for predators! There's no competition in that market! We'd be billionaires!"

[solar glacier]

How’d you record Roblox’s last business session?

[amber lintel]

greed has both upsides and downsides...

[karmic anchor]

Name one upside

[unreal shadow]

i see no upside of greed

[solar glacier]

I guess motivation

[amber lintel]

innovation

[solar glacier]

But that’s not greed

[karmic anchor]

If greed motivates you to do something good it is a motivation that will turn from doing good to exploiting people when the big number stops getting bigger as fast.

[solar glacier]

It drives you to do things, too much of it could lead you to, I guess doing bad things in order to achieve a goal?

[unreal shadow]

if people only invent things because of greed

it would be a very sad world

[solar glacier]

Yuh

You know why you have to replace lightbulbs even though we absolutely have the technology to make ones that would last longer than any of us would be alive?

[unreal shadow]

can you justify the wrongs you did to meet your goal?

[solar glacier]

Ask nestle that

[unreal shadow]

of course but the problem is no one would buy light bulbs then the light bulb companies would go out of business

[karmic anchor]

Because lightbulb companies chase anyone trying to improve the technology out of the industry

[unreal shadow]

its why tupperware went out of business

[solar glacier]

Soon they’re gonna turn into a comically evil mega corporation from cyberpunk 2077

[unreal shadow]

they work for the devil

[karmic anchor]

American health insurance already has

[unreal shadow]

https://tenor.com/view/silentaim-s1lentaim-gif-24866640

[solar glacier]

That kinda sucks because, how are we supposed to innovate and get better things, if there’s no competition

Competition drives people to improve, like Overwatch 2 finally improving after seeing marvel rivals success

[karmic anchor]

Ironically, what we're going to learn is that the megacorps from cyberpunk were actually not dystopian and evil enough to match reality, I think.

[unreal shadow]

that is the problem we face

megacorps from cyber punk

are like the 80's

[amber lintel]

well, if you will, invisible hand

[unreal shadow]

i think they took inspiration from the 80's

[amber lintel]

prevent negative repurcussions if you will

[solar glacier]

Our EMS system is gonna become like those trauma guys or whatever those guys were called

[karmic anchor]

Yeah but if the people behind the game just cared about making the best thing possible to begin with, you wouldnt need competition to make that happen.

[amber lintel]

leverage greed until it stops being useful, then muzzle it

[solar glacier]

Expensive emergency healthcare

[unreal shadow]

thats the thing about a greedy person

they cant just muzzle it

its like trying to quit smoking cold turkey for a addict

[amber lintel]

that is the role of the government under a more lessaz-faire system is it not

[unreal shadow]

greed shouldint push you to do things

[amber lintel]

anyways enough waxing high-school economics

[karmic anchor]

There is no real "competition" in an art form unless you try to capitalize on it. Once you have to worry about selling the thing, thats where shit hits the fan

[solar glacier]

I deadass learned that in class a couple days ago lol

[amber lintel]

LOL

[solar glacier]

Some guilded age stuff

[amber lintel]

I'm no economist to be clear

[unreal shadow]

art can be juged and criticized

it can be compared to other art works

[karmic anchor]

Yes, but that isnt competition

[amber lintel]

but I digress

[karmic anchor]

Art is often judged and criticized on its own merit, or on how it furthers the art form. Shit like AAA games are judged based on how marketable they are, how much cash they pull in, and how identifiable the brand be

[amber lintel]

you need money of some kind to drive people to succeed

[unreal shadow]

some people like the man who created the polo vaccine only wanted to help the world

he could have made millions off of it

but he gave it away for free

[amber lintel]

no system is perfect but the lack of incentives will lead to worse quality of life for the average citizen

granted you could argue that despite it's positives, something like the US has swung too far in the other direction

which comes with it's own downsides

[unreal shadow]

yes like in china the youth are giving up

[solar glacier]

To this day I run back to red dead 2 to do some new stupid idea I have, I don’t know if that games considered AAA because it was made by rockstar or what

[unreal shadow]

the work culture there is brutal and it dosent pay shit

[karmic anchor]

Theres something fucked up about that, and when people like Jimmy Corporate Business Major come in and go "hey man great game, you ever think about making the power ups microtransactions?" it ruins the whole thing

[unreal shadow]

you know the ceo of ea wanted to make reloading a microtransaction in battle field 5

[solar glacier]

PVZ 2💔

[unreal shadow]

im not even joking

[solar glacier]

No fucking way

[amber lintel]

maybe when the AI bubble bursts we'll see a change in mentality

[solar glacier]

What’s next gotta pay to find a match?

[hot arrow]

is he jewish

[fossil oxide]

p2w sucks ass

[solar glacier]

Holy shit this HAS to be ragebait 😭

[karmic anchor]

When I was working on my first decently sized game (like a 2 month project), I shit you not, I had the then creative director from Jam City (mobile game company) tell me i should make the game's levels proc gen and then sell them as NFTs.

[amber lintel]

we're not gouging

[solar glacier]

There’s no way a college educated man thought of this

[solar glacier]

And said, “yeah let’s make them pay to reload”

[karmic anchor]

This is a true story

I was like

[solar glacier]

It gives you the pay screen as you’re in the middle of a firefight

[karmic anchor]

Doesn't even do it justice honestly

[solar glacier]

Or has this, “here’s your ammo, you now owe me a dollar” kinda thing

[solar glacier]

People actually buy NFTs?

[fossil oxide]

reminds of that meme where you'd always get a payment pop up for every chest you'd try to open in Fortnite

[solar glacier]

I remember those monkeys

[karmic anchor]

This was in 2022

[unreal shadow]

they used to

some where worth millions

[solar glacier]

“Fortnite if it was made my EA ahh”

[unreal shadow]

honestly it was a rug pull

i saw it for what it was as soon as i lay'd eyes on it

[fossil oxide]

yeeeah I'm pretty sure that was it

[solar glacier]

Take a picture of the nft

[karmic anchor]

Crypto as a whole is sketchy as hell

[solar glacier]

Or I wonder if they’re just buying a digital coin or whatever

[amber lintel]

can't wait for the AI market to crash

[unreal shadow]

it wont

ai is such a usefull tool

[fossil oxide]

weren't ntf ai generated

[flat plaza]

give it a year

the technology has plateued

[unreal shadow]

its very usefull

hospitals use it and such

[flat plaza]

they ran out of datasets

[solar glacier]

I begrudgingly admit I use AI for my super specific questions that not even Reddit has answered

That’s about it

I feel bad seeing it used to replace graphic artists

[flat plaza]

unless they can find a way to utilize datasets that ai spits out without the quality dropping (unsolved issue) they cant take it much further without LLMs gaining seinteince

whichll never happen

[unreal shadow]

compaines are already trying to replace workers with ai

like taco bell with the ai drive thru

[karmic anchor]

Literally my strategy for new tech in general:
If the same guys who are championed crypto and nfts and shit are saying something is good they are either wrong or right but for the absolute wrong reasons and you should not listen to a word they say

[solar glacier]

I’m gonna ask it to give me 600 waters

[flat plaza]

they have tried
it usually ends up as:
lay off workers to replace with LLM
LLM does a shit job
they try rehiring people for a lower wage

[amber lintel]

my question is: where has all the investment paid off into?

[unreal shadow]

yes well once it improves and actually works fast food compaines wont hire real workers

[solar glacier]

You wanna know the real strat to win in life? Live as an outdoorsman in the wilderness and be known as an urban legend amongst the townsfolk

[amber lintel]

people also have automation bias

[unreal shadow]

ai is going to keep getting better and better

[karmic anchor]

Important note: the same people who were championing nfts are the guys who are championing gen ai now

[unreal shadow]

and if taco bell invest's millions to train a model just for there drive thru

i think it would have a fair shot

[fossil oxide]

i wouldn't buy tacos to a damn clanker, fuck no

[solar glacier]

Yeah people scared of losing their jobs, I can’t blame them

[flat plaza]

customer orderes a thousand meals
ai bugs out
connect a line worker (human) who takes the order instead

[karmic anchor]

This is literally my dream, but with an internet connection and electricity I steal from a neighbor

[amber lintel]

I hate to break it to you pal, but that's already happened in the states

[unreal shadow]

this can also be a way ai is used

[flat plaza]

its a giant waste of time and money to train an ai for low skill work

[unreal shadow]

already being used

[solar glacier]

It’s 2077, we are progressive and don’t use such harmful words anymore you bigot

Now grease my bolts meatbag

[fossil oxide]

who do you think gives maintenance and CODES that

[unreal shadow]

some poor bastard that's who

my heart goes out to them

[fossil oxide]

clankers can unplug themselves

[flat plaza]

specialized machines to preform a specific job cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and require a technician to service them who is paid at least triple what a line worker could do with a fryer and grill

[karmic anchor]

And yet they dont work very well at all

[unreal shadow]

and yet there still being put in resurants showing that places want them

[flat plaza]

from a economic standpoint its moronic

[karmic anchor]

It is

[unreal shadow]

compaines dont want to hire human workers

[solar glacier]

Imagine the first AI to work in a Japanese law firm just unplugs himself after day 1

[karmic anchor]

These people want to save money, but they forget where the money comes from

If everyone fires all the workers, there will be nobody left to give them money

[amber lintel]

retard newsom raised the minimum wage to $20, all our fast food workers (except for panera bread, because newsom is corrupt) got laid off and replaced with touchscreens

no AI needed

[unreal shadow]

mc donalds lost millions this year yet they want to build 300 more mc donalds by 2027

[amber lintel]

for fast food that is

[unreal shadow]

it dosent make sense

yet they do it

[solar glacier]

I was thinking if a fixed income would work that the government gives, but then I figure there’s a lot of ways that can go wrong

[flat plaza]

nobody wants to hire people when margins become too thin

[solar glacier]

And that it would imply there’s barely any jobs for humans to do anymore

[karmic anchor]

"How does it feel to want, McDonalds?"

[fossil oxide]

i think you don't understand how automation works bud

[unreal shadow]

why pay a human worker who might call out sick or do a bad job

when you can just hire a robot that never calls in

[fossil oxide]

and no, it's not entirely AI

[unreal shadow]

you never have to pay it

it does a perfect job

[amber lintel]

chatGPT didn't do shit for that

[unreal shadow]

im aware

[amber lintel]

automation? yes. LLMs? no.

[unreal shadow]

but ai helps it complete it's task's

[fossil oxide]

does he know

[solar glacier]

Just because they had to start paying their employees barely even livable wages 🙏

[unreal shadow]

i do

[flat plaza]

if you cant work food service thats more on you then your boss
creating a specialized robot for a fast food job is great until you consider initial invesetment and how much money its gonna cost when it breaks (it will)

[fossil oxide]

be careful man, your whole identity could be compromised if you suck robot's ass so much
and only YOUR identity

[karmic anchor]

Hhhhh

[fossil oxide]

ok AI slop ad

what's new about it

[unreal shadow]

over the long run it might be cheaper then paying for a crew they save money that would have gone to paying crew memebers

[fossil oxide]

still sucks ass

[solar glacier]

Those robots from atomic hearts just came into my mind

[amber lintel]

bro 😭

I'm playing CS and I'm actually so ass

I need to be doing my SL strafe shit with an SMG

[unreal shadow]

i was trying to say ai compaines are trying to push humans out

[amber lintel]

otherwise I can't recoil control

[karmic anchor]

I would never do this nor suggest this but I wonder what would happen if someone deployed an EMP at OpenAI, Meta, Google, etc.'s largest data centers

[amber lintel]

nothing new under the sun

[unreal shadow]

its already cheap

google has all of our data

[gilded timber]

We need a localized solar flare lol

[amber lintel]

hundreds of thousands of gen Z will cry out in terror

[eager wadi]

localized you say...

[unreal shadow]

that isint a bad idea

[amber lintel]

I think I am one of maybe twenty to thirty kids in my entire senior class that don't use AI to cheat academically in some form

[eager wadi]

i will go bother ukrainian localized tomorrow

[karmic anchor]

I bet the fuckera have all their shit in a massive Faraday box

[eager wadi]

[unreal shadow]

a emp is more deadly then a nuke to a country like the usa

would bring the usa to its knees

[solar glacier]

We can’t use our phones in our state, and don’t have homework usually

AI isn’t an option for us cheating anymore

[karmic anchor]

The fact we have things that are described as too big to fail is annoying to me

It should be too big to exist not too big to fail

[unreal shadow]

anything can fail

[solar glacier]

That’s the plot of this one movie I forgot the name of, it was an electronic terror attack

That cause electric cars to crash themselves, planes to drop, ships to crash into shores

[amber lintel]

I would highly, highly doubt that the US of all things doesn't have tech in place to stop a foreign country from EMPing them

[karmic anchor]

Too big to fail means that if something does fail it will cause widespread damage to the community and/or societal systems

[unreal shadow]

ohh

what a misleading name

[karmic anchor]

Yeah

Why do you think they call them that

Specifically to mislead

[unreal shadow]

i mean texas's grid went down during a freeze

[amber lintel]

this is true

[solar glacier]

Oh it’s leave the world behind

[amber lintel]

although america doesn't have sustainable power last I checked

we rely a lot on canada

[solar glacier]

Thanks Canada

[amber lintel]

california wanted to go solar but our energy costs per kwh are like triple the nation's average iirc

[karmic anchor]

Imo they need to break up these massive corporations. Like the fact that YouTube isnt its own thing, and Disney can own 30% of all entertainment

Its fucked

[unreal shadow]

a emp strike on major data sites on the usa would cripple it

[amber lintel]

typical gavin newsom...

[karmic anchor]

Honestly, worldwide

[amber lintel]

WE NEED TO RESURRECT TEDDY ROOSEVELT

[solar glacier]

An emp strike wouldn’t effect north Texas at all, the hicks are already completely offline

[unreal shadow]

solar is a joke we need nuclear

[amber lintel]

mhm

[unreal shadow]

nuclear power is the way to go

solar is a waste of space and money

[amber lintel]

solar panels when it's even slightly cloudy:

As long as nobody makes a mistake on the job

We chilling

[karmic anchor]

Sending data technology and all these fucking mega corps back a century would be such a good thing

[unreal shadow]

modern day reactors have so many built in fail safes

its nearly impossible to trigger a melt down

[karmic anchor]

Specifically without thinking it through at all

[karmic anchor]

I could do it

[amber lintel]

send a random person back to jamestown

[unreal shadow]

the fail safes would stop you

[amber lintel]

and play a game

who gets killed first by disease

[unreal shadow]

unless you can over ride them

[amber lintel]

us or them

[karmic anchor]

Let me pick the people who staff it, I can 100% make it happen

[unreal shadow]

you cant cause a melt down

[karmic anchor]

I know some very ignorantly incompetent people

Didn't you hear me rambling yesterday

[solar glacier]

Maybe if we’re lucky all of Illinois nuclear plants will catch up to them, and we can finally be rid of Chicago

[amber lintel]

looking in the mirror

[karmic anchor]

No no im aware

[amber lintel]

urban cities are gross...

[karmic anchor]

Thats the difference between me and those guys

[unreal shadow]

chicago is very pretty

[solar glacier]

I mean nyc has its problems but it was pretty nice

[unreal shadow]

its just not a very safe place

[solar glacier]

If you went to the well taken care of areas

[karmic anchor]

Especially at night

[amber lintel]

this is true

okay for visiting UNLESS IT'S SAN FRANCISCO

[solar glacier]

Yeah mainly more impoverished parts ofc

All major cities have their really nice downtown areas

Where all the business and cool shit is at

[amber lintel]

only go to the nice parts of SF, and even then

expect to be robbed

[solar glacier]

And then there’s the slums

[unreal shadow]

east west and south

[amber lintel]

your car to be broken into

[unreal shadow]

stay in down town and you will be fine

[karmic anchor]

Been there... yeah

Does not feel safe at all

[solar glacier]

Chicago PD deserve 10x the hazard pay 💔

[karmic anchor]

Feels like walking through the city from bloodborne at night

[solar glacier]

So do the states prison guards

[amber lintel]

People started leaving their trunks open to show that there was nothing inside so their windows didn't get smashed

[unreal shadow]

my dad makes a lot of money

he makes almost 100 thousand a year as a sgt

[karmic anchor]

...

God

[solar glacier]

He has to be more than a sergeant that’s wild

[amber lintel]

god bless chinese president xi jinping

[solar glacier]

As a cop or corrections officer?

[amber lintel]

we actually got to see a clean san francisco for a bit

[unreal shadow]

corrections officer

he is a sgt

he makes 45 an hour

[solar glacier]

Damn

[unreal shadow]

well did

[karmic anchor]

Can I be so fucking honest

[unreal shadow]

he just retired

[solar glacier]

They must be finally paying them well

[unreal shadow]

he could have got a pay out of 680 thousand dollars

or take a pension for 5 grand a month

they take care of prison gaurds

[solar glacier]

I might need to consider a career change to a CO lol

Safer cop!

[unreal shadow]

its a HARD job

[amber lintel]

my ol' econ teacher was stacked

[unreal shadow]

and i mean hard

[karmic anchor]

I kinda feel like the US is sort of approaching the same level of bad as north Korea is, just on thr absolute opposite end of the spectrum and for none of the reasons north Korea thinks

[unreal shadow]

nah thats the uk

[amber lintel]

he was talking finance to a teacher and just offhand mentions he has 120k in gold stocks or whatev

[solar glacier]

At least the backups close by, I bet dealing with troublesome inmates is rough

[amber lintel]

the US needs some major reform tbh

[unreal shadow]

we can at least say bad shit about the goverment and not get arrested

[karmic anchor]

It really can be both

[amber lintel]

except we either get joe biden or donald trump

[unreal shadow]

in the uk you can be arrested over tweets

[amber lintel]

neither of which are good

[solar glacier]

We have to become a nationalist dictatorship and invade Mexico

Canada next, so we can form the North American union

[amber lintel]

too yellow down there

[unreal shadow]

it only takes a second to kill you

[solar glacier]

From rise of nations

[amber lintel]

call us the C.U.<M

I dont like the fact that corporations unironically have more power than the government and that I physically cannot trust anyone in charge

[amber lintel]

canada, US, mexico

[unreal shadow]

is powerfull

[solar glacier]

Money 💰

[karmic anchor]

If only there was a no being an asshole rule... if only they made that a rule

[solar glacier]

NOOOO HANK DONT ABBREVIATE CANADA US MEXICO

[unreal shadow]

you can trust the one dude in the senate who tried to pass a bill to ban insider stock trading

he got shunned by the senate

[karmic anchor]

Lol

[amber lintel]

lobbying is a powerful thing

[unreal shadow]

I JUST SAID THAT

[solar glacier]

At least he didn’t suddenly die of rare bullet to the back disease

[karmic anchor]

I feel like I can kinda trust the NYC mayor guy

[amber lintel]

except I also am okay with gun ownership so let the NRA do it

[karmic anchor]

But like I dont live there

[unreal shadow]

guns are powerfull tools

not just against people breaking into your house

but against the goverment

its why we have the second amendment

[solar glacier]

To protect the first?

[amber lintel]

I am definitely biased but I am betting on it failing.

[unreal shadow]

to protect the freedom that america stands for

[karmic anchor]

Careful buddy, you might get in trouble for that one

[solar glacier]

NYC might finally get a good subway system

It’s just very dirty

i got warned in this discord one time for joking to someone saying "i print money"

To make sure you don’t suddenly die of ball cancer while you’re going down the highway

[karmic anchor]

I saw that happen

[unreal shadow]

[karmic anchor]

I was there for that

[amber lintel]

Gazz will do it...

[unreal shadow]

yeah i dont like him to much

[amber lintel]

I got warned here for saying a mod of a server sounded like he's fat

[karmic anchor]

I would've just gotten in trouble with CM

Thank you mr moszka

Except when auro is here

Terran is probably my favorite non GD and its purely for meme reasons

did yall see that shit about putin talking about being immortal by swapping organs

[solar glacier]

Yeah

With xi

Ain't that what happens in cyberpunk?

[solar glacier]

That’s mad funny to me

Either it’s complete BS

[amber lintel]

joe biden

president putin

[solar glacier]

And they let that footage get out to scare people

Or they’re being so fr and we gotta worry about Putin becoming an immortal cyborg

[unreal shadow]

im not a doctor but even i know the human body dosent work like that

[amber lintel]

well brain degradation is still going to be an issue

[unreal shadow]

the brain can last forever

[amber lintel]

I'm not a medical student to be clear

[karmic anchor]

All im saying is brain transplants probably not possible and its truly only a matter of time until your brain dies

They’re scared of divine retribution for their SINS

if your brain was alyways being taken care of

who know's how long you could live

[somber raptor]

bold of you to assume i can take care of my brain, i can't even take care of myself!

uh oh

good thing i dont live in cali

not like i could afford to

[amber lintel]

don't

[unreal shadow]

i dont plan to

twats like

beat up my neighbor is the short end

luckily didn't seriously injure him but they took his phone

[karmic anchor]

Sounds like survivorship bias to me

[amber lintel]

I think they got like 3 days probation

a friend of my sister

someone hit her dad while he was biking and killed him

[unreal shadow]

sounds about right

[amber lintel]

basically no charge

[unreal shadow]

my brother kicked a cop only got a year on probation

the justice system is a joke

my dad sat me down and told me that the news now isint about giving people news they can find that on there phone no the news is about stirring up controversy and profting off of it

[karmic anchor]

[amber lintel]

[wise peak]

God instigates us to ignore the battles of dragons and tigers in the martial arts world

[unreal shadow]

but people watching the news on the tv have to watch ads

ads give fox money

[amber lintel]

having to always hear about "OMG DONALD TRUMP [buzzword here]!!!"

[polar spade]

Someone copied it from another source which screws up indentation
And they just never fixed it

[spice coyote]

i love not using notes and formatting everything horribly

[polar spade]

Nah its funny
Our news is pretty boring

[somber raptor]

"Someone"

[polar spade]

[wise peak]

👀

[unreal shadow]

there completely silent on the matter

[amber lintel]

I've been learning python and always forget to close my code

[spice coyote]

you have to be doing this on purpose

[wise peak]

How can I describe you most accurately

[somber raptor]

Can't wait to end up refactoring everything and having it probably look worse than before (but work better!)

[amber lintel]

If I have to hear someone whining (not legit criticism of actions, just whining) about trump again I am going to blow my brains out

[spice coyote]

we get a lot about the safety act because us companies are following it for some reason

[unreal shadow]

they wanna sell our data

[amber lintel]

oh honey, they already have.

[somber raptor]

I'm lucky with JavaScript i don't have to worry about indentation because it's block based (so what i do need to worry about is a mess of brackets), so even if i mess up indentation like that the only people who'll care are anyone who'll see my code besides me

[unreal shadow]

not our goverment id data

they dont have our face

they have our search data and shit

[spice coyote]

they probably do

have you never taken a picture online or been in a photo posted online before

[unreal shadow]
